Wheel of Fortune Tarot Card

What is the Meaning of The Wheel of Fortune Tarot Card?

The tenth card of the Major Arcana is The Wheel of Fortune. This golden wheel floats through the sky surrounded by symbolism from Greek, Egyptian, and Hebrew beliefs that all point to the same meaning: the karmic experience.

While The Wheel of Fortune can be seen as a good omen, it also serves as a warning.

The Wheel of Fortune is symbolic of how life is always changing. It is a wheel that keeps on spinning, regardless of if you’re ready for change or not.

It’s important to remember that what goes up must always come down, so an undesirable situation now will eventually change into a positive one and vice versa.
